"Before arriving at the Larimer Lounge, I took ten shots of vodka. I
can’t leave bottles of vodka unfinished, they go bad, right? After
sloppily shoving ten dollars toward the door guy and dragging my
hollow, Irish leg to the back of the room, I realized I’d missed Solar
Bear’s first of four songs. The newly five-pieced Solar Bear had,
behind them, several 600 Watt floodlights shining on the audience. Two
days later, I can still see their blaze beneath my eyelids. Crouching
behind other show goers, I stole glances of singer Marcus Tallitsch as
he growled and screamed his guts and bile all over his cocked, 45
degree microphone. The varying levels of the band’s energy reflected
the varying levels of each song’s energy. While the band was tight and
well practiced, there were times they seemed worlds apart, disconnected
from each other. Their music, fortunately, in no way suffered. The
opening riff on “The Ghost Of Anton Levay,” was the entire reason I
pounded my drinks fast enough to make it in time for the opener. I’d
been given Solar Bear’s EP Modern Architects a week earlier and found
myself repeatedly restarting that intro without any consideration to my
roommate or neighbors.
